Carol Stream, Ill. (April 22, 2022) — Tyndale House Publishers (@tyndalehouse) announced today that Jean Stoffer (@stofferhome, IG: jeanstofferdesign), popular interior designer and star of the Magnolia Network TV show The Established Home, will release her debut book in November. In Establishing Home, Jean shares her own journey and speaks into the dream many women have of having a happy family, meaningful work, and a beautiful, welcoming home. She answers the age-old question women ask, “Is it really possible to have all three?”

Jean Stoffer’s TV show, The Established Home, airs on Magnolia Network. The second season is expected to release late this year. Joanna Gaines gave Jean’s book a glowing endorsement, which will appear on the cover.

“Home is so much more than the sum of its parts, and this beautiful book will encourage you to keep pursuing that which fills the gaps.” ~Joanna Gaines, cofounder of Magnolia 

In Establishing Home, Jean shares her story and her wisdom. She tells how necessity sparked her journey from part-time receptionist to founder of an award-winning home design company and star of a Magnolia Network TV show. When she was a young wife, her husband announced he was quitting his extremely stressful job to pursue another career, and she suddenly needed to bring in more family income. While she had a degree in business, her part-time job paid very little, and she had few obvious options for earning significantly more income. Despite no formal training in design, Jean began taking on design projects from friends who admired the way she decorated her own home, slowly building her skills and her business.

In this personal story with practical takeaways, Jean provides lessons learned during her journey of building a successful family business, creating beautiful spaces, and raising grounded children—guided by her faith and deeply-held values. Each chapter has tips on home design, running a business, and navigating common family issues, accompanied by beautiful color photographs featuring Jean’s classic home designs.

“Jean Stoffer’s story is proof that any home—and any life–can become even more beautiful. In Establishing Home, she shows us how,” said Jan Long Harris, executive publisher of Tyndale nonfiction. “Jean is an inspiring role model for women of all ages who dream of having a thriving family, satisfying work, and a welcoming home but who question whether it’s possible to combine all three. Her calm practicality, strong values, and transparency about lessons learned from mistakes made in her own journey make her an ideal guide for ours.”

Jean Stoffer’s debut release will be supported by a significant marketing budget as well as a national media tour. Tyndale has acquired world rights, in all languages.

Logan M. Isaac, veteran, advocate, teacher, and award-winning writer, invites readers of all political and denominational stripes into a more thoughtful conversation and meaningful community with soldiers and veterans.

In his honest and vulnerable new book, Logan Isaac offers an opportunity for GIs, veterans, and those close to them to read Christian traditions as a soldier would—by and through the lived experiences of military service.

This well-researched, meditative guide for Christians who have served their country delves deep into the Bible, while Isaac shares his own beliefs and thoughts on the life-altering experiences of battle. He attempts to fill the void most Christians in the military feel by providing theological resources to discern a better way of discipleship for GIs, affirming the nuance and complexity of armed service and the gifts GIs extend to Christians around the world.

If Jesus is God, then God is a grunt—the humble, hardy folk placed at the bottom of the social hierarchy who are relied on to accomplish the dirtiest, most difficult (and most thankless) work.

This is good news for millions of Christian soldiers and veterans in the U.S. because they have had to make an impossible choice, with no perceivable middle ground, between patriot and pacifist.

LOGAN M. ISAAC spent more than six years in the United States Army as an artilleryman, including a deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004. He was discharged as a Noncommissioned Officer in 2006 and went on to earn a BA from Hawaii Pacific University and a Master of Theological Studies from Duke University. Logan spent a year teaching at Methodist University in North Carolina before leaving to study at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, from which he received a Master of Letters in Systematic and Historical Theology in 2015. 

After returning to a teaching position at Duke University, he went on to earn a Certificate in Business Administration from Georgetown University and start Pew Pew HQ, a social enterprise based in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Logan is the sole author, as Logan Mehl-Laituri, of Reborn on the Fourth of July (InterVarsity, 2012) and For God and Country: In That Order (Herald, 2013). His first book received a Publishers Weekly Starred Review and he has served as a consultant or contributing author of nearly twenty additional publications, including books such as The Gospel of Rutba (Orbis, 2012), and Jesus, Bombs, & Ice Cream (Zondervan, 2012). He has been featured on the cover of Christianity Today Magazine and was awarded an Evangelical Press Association award for Best Article Series for “Ponder Christian Soldiers” in 2016. He lives in Maryland.

Carol Stream, Ill. — (April 18, 2022) — Designed to Last, written by Ashley and Dino Petrone, which released on April 5, 2022, from Tyndale Momentum, quickly skyrocketed to bestseller standing. In its release week, the title debuted at #11 on the Publishers Weekly Bestsellers list in the hardcover nonfiction category.

In their much-anticipated debut book, Instagram sensations (@arrowsandbow) Ashley and Dino Petrone invite readers into their home and relationship, employing their trademark honest and hilarious storytelling, sharing their journey of building an intentional home, growing in faith, and finding joy in the in-between.

The Petrones are the first to say that they don’t have all the answers, but in their book, they share the struggles and successes that come from intentionally staying committed to God and each other. They are convinced that when you build with faith, creativity, and love as the foundation . . . you build something designed to last.

Senior Acquisitions Editor Kara Leonino shared, “Seeing the excitement of readers around Designed to Last is such an encouragement to us because this book is a beautiful example of how trying something new, of blending the creativity of design with spiritual truth told through the lens of a couple who deeply care about helping others in their own journeys, can create a significant impact. Here are just a few of the things readers are saying:

• ‘Just finished your book. What a beautiful testimony to the goodness of God and His faithfulness in the lives of those He loves.’
• ‘I love how open and honest you are! . . . Your book has me smiling and definitely helped lift my spirits.’
• ‘Your book is amazing. It has inspired me to cherish my husband more.’”

Leonino continued, “Ashley and Dino and this book continue to be an incredible picture of what an inspired, fun, loving marriage and home can be.”

Ashley and Dino Petrone have been married since 2006 and make their home in Florida with their four kids: Gabe, Gavin, Quinn, and Foxi. Ashley began her popular Instagram account @arrowsandbow as a way to document her home-design journey. It took off during the seventeen months their family lived in the 180-square-foot trailer she’d transformed from an outdated RV into a bright and welcoming home. Dino is a senior engineer and Ashley is a full-time mom, blogger, and interior designer. Visit them online at arrowsandbow.com.

Prayer in the Night: For Those Who Work or Watch or Weep by Tish Harrison Warren

Framed around a nighttime prayer of Compline, Tish Harrison Warren explores themes of human vulnerability, suffering, and God’s seeming absence. When she navigated a time of doubt and loss, the prayer was grounding for her. She writes that practices of prayer “gave words to my anxiety and grief and allowed me to reencounter the doctrines of the church not as tidy little antidotes for pain, but as a light in darkness, as good news.”

“This book is the rare combination of beautiful prose and weighty theological reflection,” said Esau McCaulley, author of Reading While Black. “It paints a picture of a faith that is still there on the other side of trite, easy answers that do not satisfy, a picture of hard-won belief. This is not just a book about prayer; at times the book becomes a prayer in its own right. It is, in the end, a reflection on what it means to be a Christian in the midst of losses large and small.”

Warren was honored with the Christianity Today Book of the Year Award for Prayer in the Night in 2021, and also for Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life in 2018. She is a weekly contributing newsletter writer for the New York Times and writes a monthly column for Christianity Today. She has worked in ministry settings for over a decade as a campus minister with InterVarsity Graduate and Faculty Ministries and as the writer-in-residence at Church of the Ascension in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her articles and essays have appeared in the New York Times, Religion News Service, Christianity Today, Comment Magazine, The Point, and elsewhere.

Lead Like It Matters to God: Values-Driven Leadership in a Success-Driven World by Richard Stearns

After stints as CEO of Parker Brothers and then Lenox, Richard Stearns accepted the invitation to leave his corporate career to become the president of World Vision US, where he became the longest serving president in their seventy-year history. During his tenure there he implemented corporate best practices, lowering overheads while tripling revenues. His leadership in calling the American church to respond to some of the greatest crises of our time, notably the HIV and AIDS pandemic and the global refugee crisis, challenged Christians to embrace a bold vision for compassion, mercy, and justice. In Lead Like It Matters to God, Stearns shares the leadership principles he has learned over the course of his remarkable career.

As a leader who has navigated both secular and sacred spaces, Stearns claims that the values Christian leaders embrace in their workplaces are actually more important than the results they achieve—that God is more concerned about a leader’s character than a leader’s success. 

Russell Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, said, “For years, I have hoped that Rich Stearns would write this very book. The sad predicament is not simply that the Christian world often outdoes the ambient culture in defining success as winning, displaying, and image maintenance. The end result is exhaustion and cynicism. In this enlivening book, Rich Stearns shows a different way: the way of integrity. Very few people have ever served in such wide-ranging positions of experience as Rich Stearns. Here he guides us through the lessons he has learned along the way. This book will equip and inspire you as you lead, in whatever place God has put you, by enabling you to listen to a battle-tested leader who has earned our trust.”

Tempered Resilience: How Leaders Are Formed in the Crucible of Change by Tod Bolsinger

“Tod Bolsinger is brave enough to admit that leadership is grueling,” said Amy Sherman, author of Agents of Flourishing. “If you want to be a good leader, he teaches, prepare yourself for emotional pain, sacrifice, and the very hard work of becoming a more grounded, mature, and humble person. But accompanying this bracing challenge is a refreshingly practical guide to the kinds of disciplines the aspiring leader can exercise to become that kind of person. Those pursuing pastoral ministry will especially benefit from Bolsinger’s insights and candid reflections on his own experiences. Tempered Resilience is neither abstract nor academic. It’s a relentlessly honest book of wisdom from a devoted Christ follower that’s meant to be applied in the real world.”

Bolsinger, author of Canoeing the Mountains, is uniquely positioned to explore the qualities of adaptive leadership in contexts ranging from churches to nonprofit organizations. He deftly examines both the external challenges we face and the internal resistance that holds us back.

Bolsinger writes, “To temper describes the process of heating, holding, hammering, cooling, and reheating that adds stress to raw iron until it becomes a glistening knife blade or chisel tip.” When reflection and relationships are combined into a life of deliberate practice, leaders become both stronger and more flexible. As a result, these resilient leaders are able to offer greater wisdom and skill to the organizations they serve.

Bolsinger is a speaker, executive coach, former pastor, and author who serves as associate professor of leadership formation and senior fellow for the De Pree Center for Leadership at Fuller Seminary.

WESTMONT, IL—The Academy of Parish Clergy Inc. has honored First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament with the Reference Book of the Year Award.

“Congratulations to Terry Wildman and all those who contributed to this project,” said Al Hsu, senior editor for IVP. “The First Nations Version is a groundbreaking, fresh translation of the New Testament filled with vivid, evocative language and imagery. It helps modern readers discover the power of Scripture by conveying the biblical story through the sensibilities and cadences of Native oral storytelling tradition. We experience the kingdom of God as walking Creator’s Good Road, and we encounter Jesus as Creator Sets Free, the Chosen One. It has been an honor to partner with Terry Wildman and the FNV team in heralding the great story to new peoples.”

Wildman (Ojibwe and Yaqui) served as the lead translator, general editor, and project manager of the First Nations Version. “You might call this a contextual translation in English, in the tradition of the storytellers of oral culture,” Wildman said. “While it is not tribally specific, it is intended to relate in a general way to all our First Nations people. The FNV is not only a gift to our First Nations people, but we also consider it an offering from First Nations people to the world. It is similar in concept to The Message by Eugene Peterson, or The Living Bible by Kenneth N. Taylor. But it is different in the sense that it attempts to convey the rhythm and feel of an oral storyteller from our Turtle Island (North American) cultures.”

Many First Nations tribes communicate with the cultural and linguistic thought patterns found in their original tongues. The First Nations Version (FNV) recounts the Creator’s Story—the Christian Scriptures—following the tradition of Native storytellers’ oral cultures. This way of speaking, with its simple yet profound beauty and rich cultural idioms, still resonates in the hearts of First Nations people.

The FNV is a dynamic equivalence translation of the New Testament that captures the simplicity, clarity, and beauty of Native storytellers in English, while remaining faithful to the original language of the Bible. The culmination of a rigorous five-year translation process, this new Bible translation is a collaboration between organizations like OneBook and Wycliffe Associates, Indigenous North Americans from over twenty-five different tribes, and a translation council that consisted of twelve Native North American elders, pastors, young adults, and men and women from different tribes and diverse geographic locations.

Wildman said, “My greatest hope comes from First Nations people who have read this translation and have said it opened their eyes to who Creator Sets Free (Jesus) truly is. It has already broken down some of the walls that exist because of the horrific way the gospel was most often forced on our Native peoples. I hope stories like this will multiply as more people read the First Nations Version.”

In January 2014, NavPress entered into an alliance with Tyndale House Publishers to strengthen and better position NavPress and its rich content for the future. NavPress provides books and other content that bring spiritual impact, life transformation, and help lead in the mission of making disciples.
